Robots on the farm? Over 60% of Americans say yes.

But what if automation wasn’t about job loss—
…it was about shared ownership, reskilling, and regenerative ag?

GM’s BrightDrop just laid off hundreds and paused EV production.
Another case of moving fast + breaking… everything.
At The Stewardry, we’re building slow, local, and cooperatively.
No layoffs. No collapse. Just stewardship.

This New Yorker piece draws powerful parallels between early resistance to industrial machines and our current struggle with AI's rise. The message? It’s not anti-tech to want tech that serves people—not replaces them.

This article hit hard.
The farm crisis of the 1980s shaped a generation of producers, and still echoes today.
At The Stewardry, we’re building systems to end that cycle.
We don’t need another collapse. We need care.

Solar manufacturing is scaling in Texas.

What does that mean for decentralized energy, local co-op grids, and regenerative infrastructure?

We’re watching this closely at The Stewardry.

It’s not just an app.
It’s not just a farm.

The Stewardry is a system:
Of care. Of stories. Of moon-based votes and compost loops.

Thanks to everyone who checked out The Stewardry.

I’ve started a little Substack for field notes, sketches, and stories:

First post is live:
“Why I’m Building This.”

Come read, follow, or just drift alongside. Stewardship is a long arc.

Why am I Building The Stewardry? I’ve spent the last few years sketching a different kind of future—one built on care, cooperation, and deep integration with land, culture, and technology. That vision has taken root in something: The Stewardry Institute of Technology and Ecology.

It starts with one steward.
It grows through shared tools, stories, and land.

First mockups, apps, and field notes coming soon.

Follow along. This is just beginning.

I’m building something called The Stewardry Institute of Technology and Ecology—a new kind of co-op system—for regenerative culture, decentralized tools, and shared governance.
It starts with stories, software, and a shared vision.
More soon… #CooperativeTech #RegenerativeFutures #PlatformCoop
